Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1961 and were confirmed in 1974.

The arms show in a special way the local hydropower, a river falling over a black rock. The use of the waterfall in the Rönne river for the local paper factory already dates from 1573.

The arms on a roadsign on the municipal border

Literature: Nevéus and de Waern, 1992
